EMCORE Corporation Announces Fiber Optic Gyro Product Line
ALBUQUERQUE, NM--(Marketwire - 06/08/10) - EMCORE Corporation (NASDAQ:EMKR - News), a leading provider of compound semiconductor-based components, subsystems and systems for the fiber optics and solar power markets, announces the launch of its EMP Fiber Optic Gyroscope (FOG) module family.
The EMP-1 is a single-axis FOG module incorporating EMCORE's internally manufactured lithium-niobate modulator and hybrid-integrated photonic transceiver components. The EMP-1 also utilizes advanced DSP-based closed-loop FOG processing circuitry. "EMCORE has been supplying high-performance lithium-niobate modulators and optical transceiver components for FOGs for years. With this new product line we are leveraging EMCORE's unique vertical-integration capabilities of critical photonic devices to produce a compact, high-performance, low-cost FOG unit," commented Dr. K.K. Wong, EMCORE's Director of FOG Technology. Dr. Ron Logan, Vice President of EMCORE Photonic Systems, added, "The EMP-series of FOGs offers a major cost and performance breakthrough in a flexible platform for a wide range of applications. The EMP-1 platform allows EMCORE to offer high-performance, highly-reliable closed-loop FOGs at a price equivalent to that of competitive lower-performance open-loop designs."
The EMP-1 has both analog and digital outputs, a single +5 volt power supply, and is targeted to a wide range of commercial and military applications in platform- and camera-stabilization, navigation, robotics, and oil and gas exploration.
EMCORE will display the EMP-1 FOG and its FOG component technology at the Joint Navigation Conference in Orlando FL, June 8-10, 2010. More information on the EMP-1 is available at www.emcore.com/.
